Camcorder is a portable device that is available in different formats i.e. ranging from full-size VHS-type professional cameras to micro MV cassettes. Nowadays, digital camcorders are available that records images and audios as a sequence of numbers instead of magnetic patterns. Digital camcorders are able to convert audios and images into binary data i.e. 0’s and 1’s that can be easily copied to computer for editing and other purposes. Earlier camcorders were using tapes to store videos but now, digital HDV camcorders use solid state memory cards like CF cards, SD cards or memory sticks to store large number of videos. Generally, when you copy analog data from one analog tape to other analog tape, it may lose some details. But, this does not happen with digital camcorders because, the data which is in digital camcorder is in the form of 0’s and 1’s. If you are using memory cards in your digital camcorders then it is very easy to transfer videos to your system much quicker than tapes. You can transfer videos stored in digital camcorder to system via USB or FireWire cables. Sometimes, memory card, which is using in your digital camcorder may get corrupted due to logical failures resulting in  loss of videos. You can recover lost videos using relevant camcorder recovery tool.

Generally, memory card uses FAT32 file system. File system is responsible to organize and manage data in appropriate manner. It stores allocation information of stored data like videos, audios, images etc and also keeps track of free available spaces to store new data. If this file system gets corrupted then it may not allow you to access videos, audios or any other data  from memory card resulting in loss of data. File system of memory card may get corrupted due to several reasons like spyware, malware or virus attack, improperly removing memory card, power failure etc. Sometimes, you may accidentally remove memory card from card reader while transferring videos from memory card to computer, which may also results in loss of videos. Sometimes, abruptly removing memory card even when you are not transferring any data may also result in loss of data. Because, when you connect memory card to computer, it is automatically accessed by the Operating system. If you interrupt that process by removing memory card then it may corrupt the file system resulting in loss of videos.

Always, eject memory card properly i.e. make use of “Safely Remove Hardware” icon to avoid loss of videos. Take backup of essential videos so that you can restore them back when you encounter data loss problems. If you have not taken backup already then use reliable  recovery tool to recover lost videos from memory card of camcorder.
